The doctrine of laches sounds overly technical or dryly procedural, but its purpose is avoiding exactly what happened here. Election rules could have been litigated any time before the election (and many were, both successfully and unsuccessfully). But waiting until after the election has been run, when your requested remedy can only be to invalidate the entire outcome, is completely unworkable.

Let me summarize the article and see if I can make a conclusion:

- Former Trump official (irrelevant)
- Could not find anything in the article to support corruption. I agree with this, since charging corruption is very strong.
- 68% error rates are not really errors. OK
- Does not look like anyone actually went in there and set a zero. The specific picture is blacked out, so I cannot tell what was happening (I seem to remember an earlier version where it wasn't blacked out, but probably just human memory playing tricks.)

Did I summarize and comment fairly?

Fortunately for you (aha!) I actually was not looking at these things. What I found interesting were the following:

- Instances of verifiable high rates of adjudication not just here, but elsewhere. There is a clip of an official in some county where they said their adjudication rate was 60% which is excessive and means x% of votes were decided by people in a room somewhere.
- Deleted log files for 2020 but not 2016 (this was the big one for me, should be unacceptable.)
- Same ballots giving different results. Admittedly, this could be user error.

Aside from the particulars in 2020, as far as I'm concerned, every single election should be audited to the highest standards possible and I cannot understand why anyone would disagree. This (to me) means adversarial parties trying to convince a third party of their version of the truth with opportunity for rebuttal. I don't feel that actually happened here which worries me overall. What we seem to have is one party says something, the other party takes to the news to offer a rebuttal and no one will be able to fairly hear both sides without piecing together bits of information.

It's for this reason I wish the Supreme court had taken up the case.
Historically if one news organization wouldn't cover a story, its competitors might, or you could talk about it yourself. Now the most vocal "journalists" seem to be uniformly in favor of preventing anyone with a dissenting opinion from speaking. That's quite a shift.
Ask HN: Is it possible to be sucessful in tech for someone with mental illness?
I think I may have a serious mental illness. Since we work with our minds, I was wondering if it's possible to be successful in tech with such a condition. I don't know anybody who has bipolar, schizophrenia, delusion disorder etc who has been successful in tech. It would be great if you could share your story so that others suffering with the same can be inspired and know that they are not alone.
Here's my account, that might be survivorship bias. I also traded tech stocks and cryptos and was able to significantly beat the market on the former and quit (also from Amazon) a few years ago.

I invested in NVidia after recognizing GPU shortages due to ML continuing hype.
I switched to AMD after recognizing their Zen CPUs are slowly beating Intel.
I switched to TSMC after realizing their accomplishments are significant part of M1 and Ryzen advantages.

My stock portfolio's growth is over +50% yoy over last five years on average (geomean).

The way I explain this to myself is that trading firms focus on economic fundamentals, which can not show upper hand in a specific technology. They are trying to recognize the later, but it requires understanding tech news articles, and best NLP AI methods are not there yet, whereas our brains can handle that task, especially if it is withing our own expertise.

If that theory is right, you can beat the market, but you have to be real expert in the area you are trying to trade in, and probably a few linked areas too.
Adding "-E" should be considered as well, so traps are also applied in functions.
This was my thinking as well. Their concerns were ridiculous and echoed what we heard a couple years ago when politicians were looking for mandatory back doors. What did they think the point of encryption was other than to allow people to have discussions without interference. I get it, I’m not a fan of the groups they’re discussing by a long shot, but I’m also not working at a non-profit dedicated to providing the world with safe, encrypted, messaging.

My experience is that a lot of these projects are bluffing when they use autotools. Autotools will work very hard to make sure stdlib is there. But as soon as you compile on a more exotic system, none of the checks are of any use, and you fail in the make stage.

Maybe we should make any easy to use version of autotools which does nothing but accept the standard prefix, flags, etc options. You wouldn’t be able to do sophisticated configuration, but let’s face it most codes only pretend to do that.

How does it falsify that claim? 480 watts is 480 watts. That's an equivalent unit to calories per minute. In rowing, the recovery phase outputs no power but requires some power input.
Ask HN: Are there any computers on the market like 80s home computers?
I'm only 20, but I'm very attracted to the idea of a computer that a single person could reasonably understand, or at least understand far better than the bloated nightmare of Windows and MacOS. Even Linux is very big and complicated. I'm also looking for simplicity at the hardware level. A Raspberry Pi is cheap, but I would hardly call modern ARMv7 Cortex chips simple.

Are there any computers on the market that try to replicate the simplicity of earlier home computers? Perhaps there's an SBC that would meet my hardware requirements, and there's a separate, simple OS I could flash?
Yeah now that you say it I see it too.
They are still undergoing clinical trials.

People - and here I mean the average person, not the ultrawealthy - were conned into buying things they couldn't afford, not exotic investments. Assuming the exotic investments you're talking about were the various derivatives markets propped up by bullshit, that was massive corporations making investments and taking on risk they didn't even understand. Unfortunately, the fallout impacted average people who weren't even directly involved.
I mean, people's views on things should change based on evidence. This isn't 'i disagree with their politics so I need to change the platform to silence them'. There was an insurrection on the US capitol due to extremists and online communication tools were a big part of this (though it was social media mostly). Let's not abstract away what happened to downplay how serious the event was. I don't know what signal should do, but it's strange to be surprised that given a new understanding of the world people would revisit their principles. That's what people should do. People should not be intransigent.

Also, personally I don't think signal should compromise the quality of their product though. E2E is too important.
Hard to source this claim exactly but after many discussions on the topic, my view is that people across the political spectrum believed that there were adequate outpatient mental health resources for the newly released individuals.

Either they imagined it was already available or that the money saved on running the institutions would instantly create it (with some left over).

There was a massive underestimation of the scope of the problem.
Why are people who did math degrees not doing well? Math degrees open all sorts of doors, at least once you get a bit of post grad education.
Lol. "This is flawed so it is worth zero" is a bad argument even when you present an alternative, but it's downright lazy when you just mail in the criticism without suggesting something else.

GME sells consoles and consumer electronics in addition to games, so I'd put BBY on the short list of comps for sure. But if you think the product mix is so different as to make them incomparable, that's ok. Pick a better metric and explain why GME was accurately priced at $260mm market cap when the company does billions in revenue.

Then, go back and explain why AMD was worth $2/share in 2014.

Then, go to every other heavily shorted name and wave your hands around looking for reasons to justify obviously overshorted valuations.
Again I am not talking about the GPD microPC for which I have no experience, but the GPD Win Series which is directly equivalent to the Pyra - and they do not support Linux at all. I have even talked to the GPD guys directly face to face about that.

that's not how it works. Email me if you are genuinely interested in the how the institutional investors and market makers fit into this whole ecosystem. I'm tired of explaining market structure/incentives on HN. hint:

wall st money was lost on gme, not made. Market makers got killed trying to hedge those deltas, over and over again (it is impossible to statically hedge an option you have sold with a long/short position in the underlying tho in some cases like far ITM options, you can pretend like you can because the options delta is 1)
I would expect higher attention to facts - and a system that could point this (and other facts) towards other opinions - just allowing readers to make their own informed opinions as well...
Don't call a bunch of selfie taking hooligans insurretionists. That's not how insurrections happen. It's a media blown overreaction because it helps their narrative. Look at how insurrections happen elsewhere. It's not done by selfie taking shamen.

As for a practical advice:

Just use PostgreSQL. You can get really really far with just an SQL database and few indexes. It's enough for 99% of projects.

This has two big advantages:

1. PostgreSQL is a reliable, high performant database, which has been proven over time. So you are not going to deal with weird issues and can focus on your project.

2. You will learn SQL which you are going to use throughout your whole career.

And if you decide to go this way, read this: https://use-the-index-luke.com/
No, this is accurate, at least according to the broadly-accepted level mapping which places LinkedIn Staff approximately parallel to other FAANG Senior.

Option prices move every day.

There do exist, in fact, some people who are very skilled at making money trading options. Some people do it for a living with rich people's money, and many of them have the same skillset/education as the general HN audience.

If this guy actually made millions over the course of dozens of trades, it makes more sense to let him talk than to downvote him and tell him that he's just an aberration of probability lol. Like, what do you gain by that? If he's lying, humor him and enjoy the conversation. If he's telling the truth, pick his brain.

Just because it's a stupid insurrection doesn't mean it's not an insurrection.
Do recent events make you confident that you can trust every government administration not to abuse a hypothetical power to regulate speech?

Freedom of speech may have great value in helping to prevent (or reduce the probability of) totalitarian dictatorship and democide. If so, this value will only be realized infrequently, and only speculatively (e.g. when a politician comes close to taking power and fails, we can speculate that perhaps they would have succeeded if they had been able to regulate speech).

It's possible that freedom of speech makes society worse in various ways, but that this is outweighed by the positive value of even very infrequent averting of totalitarian dictatorship or democide.

One question is, does freedom of speech make totalitarianism more or less likely?
I loved this show. It made me wish I had gotten into tech much earlier!
It's not too surprising. They pay is better and there are more opportunities for more interesting work. I didn't go to Waterloo, but I've met a number of other Canadians who, not unlike myself, made the move south. That being said I do miss living in Canada sometimes, just not enough to take a two thirds paycut.
I'm very sympathetic to the view that emergency action was justified at the time in response to the urgent threat. But if we're talking about permanently refactoring the principles of free speech, I'm not sure that a single bad event is really enough evidence to make any decisions on.
It's my job and I still get surprised in the evening at how much the exposure changes when it seems static to my eyes.

"Innocence until proven guilty" is relating to an individual being formally accused of a crime in a court of law. We are talking about a PUBLIC PROCESS, which in my opinion doesn't fall into the same category. The burden of proof shouldn't fall on either side, it should be publicly verifiable.

If a third-world country controlled by rebels ran a "free and fair" election, where they "counted" the presidential ballots behind closed doors and eventually determined that the rebel dictator won the election....then by your logic, it would be absurd and unfair of the citizens to question those election results.

Also, here's some evidence you can look into that should have been enough to trigger more formal investigations: https://depernolaw.com/uploads/2/7/0/2/27029178/antrim_michi...

I wish you were right. But, it doesn't seem like it. This is Signal we're talking about having a discussion about censoring speech --their whole premise was to NOT be aware of the speech users engaged in from the get go.
American firms tend to have much higher quality corporate management than their Canadian counterparts.[1] To be profitable at FAAMG salaries requires leveraging your engineers to achieve very high levels of productivity and execution.

I think the people who think that Rudy is afraid of discovery are expecting an email that says something like "We know Dominion machines are on the up and up but can we just make things up?" This email is unlikely to exist.

Discovery on Rudy's side is likely to be boring or need a lot of generous reading to draw a conclusion of defamation.

Discovery on Dominion's side can get interesting. For example, can they prove that some part of the source code did indeed come from that Venezuelan company? If so, what does this mean? Can discovery prove connections between current or former officers and the Venezuelan company? What does that mean? How much of their claims do they need to prove to show that the statements have some basis in fact?

Turns out one of the heads of Dominion was affiliated with Antifa (whatever that means, I don't know.) Could they find that he accessed systems during the night of the election outside of his duties? I dunno.

I think it also turns out that a former Dominion officer went to work for Soros after the election. What does that mean? I dunno.

So I personally think there is a lot more interesting things to be found on the Dominion side.

If there was anything shady going on, they would have to be fucking morons to run it through the company. So chances are, they probably won't find anything.
You are right, although Cameron is also considered a genius by her peers multiple times.
